The K-1 students in Mrs. Abukhodair's classroom, was playing a fun math game, Math Marks the Spot!
A fun math, science, and ELA activity in one! Mrs. Abulhodair's K-1 students learned four types of frogs, the frog life cycle, using a variwty of math skills and played with the frogs afterwards!
Ms. Hawkins' students are learning with all 5 senses. They recently dissected celery stalks which they had set overnight in colored water, to learn more about how plants drink. Then students "mummified" their celery experiments during history study of Ancient Egypt: each embalmed their Pharaoh Celery in salt, wrapped it in cotton strips, and laid pharaoh to rest in a jeweled, golden sarcophagus made by the student. When learning about Egypt's neighbor, Ancient Mesopotamia, students made pop-up Ziggurat brochures and tasted a step pyramid they made out of cake!
South 3rd-grader Rylee Leatherman worried about big sticker patches growing all over the playground, so she decided to spend her recess pulling them up by the roots. Her leadership inspired all of her classmates, who spent their next two recesses weeding the entire area to make it safer for all! South 2nd- and 3rd-graders continue on their own initiative to keep the playground weed free. Ms. Hawkins is very proud of her creative, caring, hardworking Bobcats!
Congratulations to WP South 2nd-grader, Taylee Enlow! She won 3rd prize in the county-wide community Christmas coloring contest sponsored by Ness County News. Taylee loves making art of all kinds, and her entry is displayed at Fitzgerald's Furniture in Ness City.

Mrs. Tocohua's preschool class has been learning about healthy eating habits and the food pyramid this week. On Monday the students created meal trays and spoke about what foods they had. We took this time to talk about healthy and unhealthy foods. On Wednesday we explored the food pyramid and on Thursday we talked about how we should combine each category in our meals to receive the most benefit. The students ended the week by presenting a category of the food pyramid. We had a yummy learning adventure!

The JH Social Studies class hosted a small mock trial play this Tuesday called “The Mock Trial of the Three Little Pigs”, followed by a surprise gift for Mrs. Casey, the JH Social Studies teacher. The play followed a comedic court trial with the pigs and the wolf, who had burned his feet while climbing down their chimney and sued the three pigs for his injuries.
